Hi again, We are still constantly getting postgresql processes killed by signal 9 from time to time, without any idea why or how. Syslog seems completly clean. In case a postgresql process would exceed some restricted resources like file descriptors, would the kernel choose to terminate it using SIGKILL? Are there any other common examples / occurences where processes are terminated this way automatically?
